| Optio | Post; Brilliant Tactcians/Leaders of HistoryThis tactcian was a great general who is usually overlooked when great leaders are listed but I believe Nathan Bedford Forest (CSA) was definitely a general that could be considered one of the best.

| Immunes | Even though this is a repeated topic, I'll insert my two cents. 1. Erwin Rommel 2. Patton 3. Doolittle (Leader of the American counter attack on Tokyo after Pear Harbor) I hope I spelled 3's name right. That's why I told who he was. |

I have to agree with Wellington. I would also add: R.E. Lee - He was brilliant and audacious - he just didn't have enough resources to carry out his plans. Stonewall Jackson - Lee's strong right arm - with the exception of the peninsula he was an incredible General And I have to agree about Forrest - he was an absolute racist so-and-so, but he was arguably the best Cavalry General in US history. | |
